How to Level Your Yard Like a Pro: Transforming Lumpy Topsoil into Smooth Butter-like Terrain!

Updated: Dec 13



Our customer today has expressed a desire for some new dirt to be spread over his yard with our yard leveling, a task that involves not just a simple application of soil but a thoughtful approach to landscaping. The process will involve covering the existing old dirt and grass, creating a fresh canvas for new plants to thrive on top. The introduction of new topsoil is crucial, as it will provide far superior nutrients compared to the old, depleted dirt that may be lacking in essential minerals and organic matter. At Schott Services, we pride ourselves on being experts in laying down soil and various landscaping materials, ensuring that every layer we apply contributes to a healthier and more vibrant yard. If you reside in the greater Indianapolis area and are in need of professional assistance to spread soil or any other landscaping material on your property, do not hesitate to reach out to us at 317-784-8760, whether by call or text, or via email at HappyDumpTruck@gmail.com for a complimentary price estimate.



The topsoil we’re utilizing for this project is delivered directly to the site by a dump truck, a process that is not only efficient but also quite fascinating to observe. Watching the soil cascade from the truck and form a substantial heap on the ground is an experience that many find satisfying. For those interested in the details, slowing the video down to 0.25x speed allows you to appreciate the moment the soil falls in real-time, showcasing the volume and texture of the material being laid down. Once the entire load has been deposited, we bring our mini skid steer into action, specifically the Vermeer S925TX model. This remarkable machine boasts a carrying capacity of 925 pounds, making it exceptionally capable of shoveling and distributing the dirt evenly across our customer’s yard. The attachment we utilize to transfer the dirt from the pile onto the yard is our mini skid steer bucket. This versatile tool is not only effective for shoveling dirt but also invaluable for moving bricks and various landscaping equipment, making it an essential part of our operation. We expertly maneuver the bucket to scoop up all the dirt from the heap and spread it evenly across the designated area of our customer’s yard.


Fortunately, there is a straightforward solution to our lumpy dirt dilemma: the use of a leveler! This specialized tool is an attachment for our mini skid steer that features three parallel blades designed to smooth out any uneven surfaces. By weaving back and forth over the newly laid topsoil with the leveler, we can effectively flatten the soil, eliminating any bumps and ensuring a uniform surface. This meticulous leveling process is essential for creating an optimal environment for our customer’s new plants to take root and flourish. If you find yourself in need of new soil to be spread across your yard, we invite you to contact us at 317-784-8760 or via email at HappyDumpTruck@gmail.com for a free estimate on the cost of our services. We look forward to helping you transform your outdoor space into a lush and inviting landscape.
